No thinking required... that's a no-brainer ;-)

Regarding el-cheapo batteries - that has been my experience as 
well.  They tend to last about the same if you take good care of 
them.  The more expensive ones will tolerate neglect better.

Now... about flooded-cell, gel-cell, and AGM - does the same apply to 
the more expensive technologies?  IOW, can you get just as good 
service from conventional flooded-cell as the more expensive 
alternatives IF you maintain them properly?  But if you're a slacker 
about maintaining them, spend the bucks on AGM (or whatever).

Cheers!
